"I remember my childhood well. The death of a man at the hands of another was a rarity, an extraordinary phenomenon, out of the common run. Murders, it was supposed, happened only in tragedies, in detective novels, & in newspaper chronicles, not in ordinary life. & suddenly this leap from serene, innocent measuredness into blood & screaming, mass insanity, & the savagery of daily & hourly, lawful & extolled murder."

saving quotes that make me cry
"They loved each other because everything around them wanted it so: the earth beneath them, the sky over their heads, the clouds and trees. Everything around them was perhaps more pleased by their love than they were themselves. Strangers in the street, the distances opening out during their walks, the rooms they lived or met in."

"The frequency of microscopic cardiac hemorrhages has increased greatly. It’s the disease of our time. I think its causes are of a moral order. A constant, systematic dissembling is required of the vast majority of us. It’s impossible, without its affecting your health, to show yourself day after day contrary to what you feel, to lay yourself out for what you don’t love, to rejoice over what brings you misfortune."

Im so obsessed with the prose in this. I'm afraid I've become a russian literature girl
“I shall see you, my beauty, my princess, my dearest rowan tree, my own heart’s blood.”
"Put an iron or something heavy on the lid of the pot, as I’ve done, to protect it from the rats. I’m out of my mind with joy.”

and then the start of Part 12 hits you with "Some living intimacy was established between the birds and the tree. As if the rowan saw it all, resisted for a long time, then surrendered, taking pity on the little birds, yielded, unbuttoned herself, and gave them the breast, like a nurse to a baby. 'Well, what can I do with you? Go on, eat, eat me. Feed yourselves.' And she smiled."

Yuri on multiple occasions is like "Liberius is so annoying I'm gonna kill him for real this time" and then he overhears a plot to assassinate Liberius and he's like "I gotta warn him so he doesn't die"

"Man in other people is man's soul. That is what you are, that is what your conscience breathed, relished, was nourished by all your life. Your soul, your immortality, your life in others. And what then? You have been in others and you will remain in others. And what difference does it make to you that later it will be called memory? It will be you, having entered into the composition of the future."

"The object of the visit was exhausted. It was necessary to say something lively and unforced in farewell. A strained and unpleasant conversation began."
"Their arrival had been senseless, their further presence here was indecent."
"The sonata was known to be dull and forced, cerebral. It fulfilled expectations, and moreover proved to be terribly drawn out."
nobody writes tedium like Pasternak (complimentary)
